Tutorial 5_MLB

Look at this

Here is a good example of a project that utilizes digital techniques to create particular affordance and affect. I hope all of you are working on your diagrams.

Workshops and Midterm

For the remainder of the semester, Noel (our now official TA) will be giving workshops before class from 4-5 pm. I highly recommend that you all attend. For those of you who attend every day, you will receive extra credit toward your final grade.

The midterm due date has changed to 3/30/11. Please review the midterm requirements, and do not do the assignment at the last minute- I can assure you if you start now your project will be much better, and so will your grade.

MIDTERM EXERCISE

3 Techniques 3 Affordances

For your midterm you will produce three formal diagrams based on three different techniques we covered in class. Each diagram will create three affordances in one form. You will use the tiling technique (based on tutorial 5), an animated form technique (based on tutorial 6) and a blending technique (based on tutorial 7). Each formal diagram should be an original form- not just a retooling of the tutorials. Each formal diagram at a minimum should embody three affordances- shown by using the 3D people.


Even though this is a introductory exercise, you must show control of the technique and an understanding of the formal logic. The majority of your grade will be based on your ability to show strong digital craftsmanship.

Deliverables:

On 3/23/11 you will turn in a CD with 9 rendered images, 3 for each diagram. And the Maya files of the project. You will also be expected to upload the 9 rendered images to the blog.
